- CIGARETTE HOLDER AND ASH RETAINER Filed Jan. 22, 1947 INVENTOR.
,,,, .7 LEE FOOK Fl 6. 8 ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 8, 1950 CIGARETTE HOLDER AND ASH RETAINER Lee Fook, Washington, D. 0.
Application January 22, 1947, Serial No. 723,559
3 Claims. (Cl. 131-175) 1 This invention relates to smokers articles and more particularly to an improved combination cigarette holder and ash retainer.
Heretofore various kinds of devices have been produced for holding cigarettes during the smoking of the same, and efforts have been made to reduce the scattering of ashes during smoking.
It is an object of the invention to provide an attractive, simple, inexpensive cigarette holder and ash retaining device which may be easily taken apart for cleaning and reassembled and which will render less objectionable and hazardous the indoor smoking of cigarettes due to the retention of the ashes as well aspreventing the burning of clothes by accidental spilling of the ashes thereon.
Another object of the invention is to contribute to the public welfare by providing a device which will lessen fire hazards arising from burning cigarettes by keeping them substantially enclosed until they are completely smoked and may be discarded in a suitable receptacle.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved cigarette holder and ash retaining receptacle wherein a burning cigarette may be smoked throughout practically its entire length and the short butt remaining, if any, easily ejected.
An additional object of this invention is to provide an improved cigarette holding and ash retaining receptacle with replaceable and readily removable portions capable of easy assembly.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following specification taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is an exploded plan view of the inner assembly of my invention with parts in section;
Fig. 2, an isometric view of cigarette holding means;
Fig. 3, an enlarged isometric view of an inner sleeve;
Fig. 4, an enlarged isometric view of an outer casing;
Fig. 5, a cross-section view taken on the line iof Fig. 4;
Fig. 6, a plan view of a complete assembly of my cigarette holder and ash receptacle;
Fig. 7, a longitudinal sectional view with the parts shown in operative position and in phantom in cigarette ejecting position; and
Fig. 8, a longitudinal view with parts in section showing all of the elements in assembled I relation with a portion of the body broken away.
With reference to the drawings, Fig. l illustrates a body portion IQ, of plastic o other desirable molded or shaped material having at one end a bit or mouthpiece II, and an extension l2 at the other end. Within the body portion l0 where it joins extension I2 is a counterbore l0 containing a groove or looking *guideway III" for purposes as hereinafter described. The body portion I0, bit II and extension l2 are provided with a bore l3 to permit the passage of smoke or air therethrough. Internal threads l4 are provided in the end of extension l2 and a pin i5 is mounted on its outer periphery in the manner as shown and for the purpose as herein described. A cigarette holding tube or sleeve l6 having a central bore l1 and outside threads I 8 at one end and a longitudinal slot [6' at the other end is adapted to be placed by a sliding action over the extension 12 with pin l5 received in slot it. The cigarette holder I6 is provided with an enlarged counterbore ll' into which one end of a cigarette may be fitted. A centrally bored or hollow pin I9 is provided with screw threads 20 on one end and enlarged screw head 2| on its opposite end. This pin I9 is adapted to be passed through the cigarette holding means It and fastened to extension l2 by turning screw threads 20 into screw threads l4 until the head 2| rests against the bottom of the counterbore ll of holder IE to limit the outward movement of member l6 when it is reciprocated on extension l2 in the manner as will be clear from Fig. 7. That is, the limit of the threads It in extension l2 and the threads 20 on the pin 19 stop the turning action of pin 19, whereby it serves as a cigarette butt ejector upon the sliding action of the cigarette holder It as herein described. It will also be clear from Fig. 7 that the inner end of the cigarette holding tube or sleeve 16 will abut the shoulder Illa on the body portion Ill to limit inward movement of the sleeve IS. A cigarette positioning holder formed of internally threaded collar 22, outwardly extending substantially parallel wires 23 and holding circular wire or ring 24 is adapted to be screwed onto the threads I 8 of the cigarette holder 16. The wires 23 are preferally spaced from each other a distance greater than the diameter of a cigarette to avoid a direct contact therewith as illustrated in Fig. 2. It will be obvious that if the cigarette should tilt downwardly due to its weight the intermediate portion of the cigarette will rest on the ring 24 but the remainder of the cigarette will be spaced from the inner sleeve 26 and also from the wires 23.
In Fig. 2 is shown the cigarette holder l6 holding a cigarette 25 as it is normally positioned with positioning holder collar 22 secured thereon and cigarette 25 centered in ring member 24. The
.length of the slot it is somewhat longer than the length of the sliding or reciprocation action of holder l6 to avoid contact of the pin with the end of the slot, which might distort the pin or at least cause excessive wear.
Fig. 3 discloses a circular fireproof sleeve member 26 preferably of lightweight metal such as aluminum or magnesium alloy or the like, perforated over its top and side portions with the bottom portion closed to prevent a spilling of ashes. At the outer ends of sleeve 25 are provided positioning flange members 27 extending at right angles to the main body of sleeve 26. Further angular flange members 28 are positioning elements and are provided with perforations or holes 26' to serve for the use of small bolt and nut or other suitable securing means for member 26, if used, as hereinafter described.
Fig. 4 comprises the outer casing or sleeve member 29, preferably formed of plastic material or light metal having perforated top and side walls and preferably, a closed bottom side 36. One end of sleeve 29 is provided with a shoulder 3! having screw threads thereon and countersunk holes 32 which will register with holes 28' in flanges 28 (Fig. 3) for screw and nut or other suitable means to fasten the sleeves together when assembled. At its opposite end the member 29 is provided with a shoulder member 33 of somewhat lesser outside diameter than the outside diameter of its main body portion 29. A pin 35 is provided on the shoulder member 33 and is adapted to fit within the locking groove or guideway I 6" when the shoulder 33 is fitted within the counterbore iii'to provide a bayonet joint permitting the outer casing to be secured to and at the same time easily removed from the mouthp ece.
In Fig. 5 the perforated sleeve 29 is illustrated as having at its closed bottom side 39 a fiat por-' tion 29' which permits the sleeve 29 when placed longitudinally on a fiat surface to rest without rolling or turning.
The assembly view in Fig. 6 shows the casing or sleeve 29 attached to the body portion Ill and a cap closure member 35 screwed on the threaded portion 3|. Cap 35 in cooperation with the flat base portion 29' of sleeve 29 serves to hold and retain a burning cigarette and its ashes until the smoker is ready to dispose of them.
' The inner sleeve member 26 (Fig. 3) and the cigarette positioner comprising 22, 23 and 24 (Figpf) while preferably inserted as described may be removed and the balance of the device a tubular extension at the other end, a sleeve having a longitudinal bore slidably receiving said tubular extension and having one end provided with a. counterbore to receive one end of a cigarette, pin and slot means for limiting relative movement between the sleeve and tubular extension, hollow screw means threadedly engaging the end of said tubular extension and having a head received in said counterbore and limiting the longitudinal movement of the sleeve on the tubu lar extension in one direction, an outer perforated sleeve detachably secured at one end to the end of the body portion which has the tubular extension, and an inner perforated sleeve having radial tongues at opposite ends for spacing said second sleeve in concentric relation within the outer perforated sleeve and also having brackets at one end secured to said outer perforated sleeve for holding the two perforated sleeves together so that they may be removed as a unit, the head on the hollow screw means acting as a butt ejector when the sleeve which carries the cigarette is slid in one direction on the tubular extension.
2. A combination cigarette holder and ash retainer as set out in claim 1, wherein there is a cigarette positioning element which is removably secured upon the end of the first mentioned sleeve by which the cigarette is carried, said cigarette positioning element being of open construction and consisting of an internally threaded collar, substantially parallel wires secured to the collar at one end, and a circular ring secured to the other ends of the substantially parallel wires, said cigarette positioning element having its wires spaced from each other a distance greater than the diameter of a cigarette to avoid a direct contact with a burning cigarette and acting to keep the cigarette spaced from the inside walls of the inner perforated sleeve to obviate uneven burning.
3. A combination cigarette holder and ash retainer comprising a body portion having a longitudinal bore with a mouth piece at one end and a tubular extension at the other, a sleeve slid-' ably received on said tubular extension and having one end provided with a counterbore to receive one end of a cigarette, means for limiting relative movement between the sleeve and tubular' extension, ejector means detachably secured to said tubular extension and having a head received in said counterbore for limiting in one direction the longitudinal movement of the sleeve on the tubular extension, an outer perforated sleeve detachably secured at one end to the end of the body portion having the tubular extension, and an inner perforated sleeve having radial tongues at opposite ends for spacing said inner sleeve concentrically within the outer perforated sleeve and with brackets at one end secured to said outer perforated sleeve for holding the two perforated sleeves together so that they may be removed as a unit, said head acting as a cigarette butt ejector when the sleeve which carries the cigarette is moved in one direction.
